Killing linux process by piping the id

Question

I want to kill a process and I get its id with:

pgrep -f \"python myscript.py\"

I would like to call

kill -s SIGINT 
         


        

Answer 1

It's generally most convenient to use xargs to pass data from a pipe as arguments to a command that doesn't read data from stdin themselves:

pgrep -f "python myscript.py" | xargs kill -s SIGINT
